This is what happens when “real reporters” so badly want to believe the liberal mischaracterization of Sarah Palin. NBC News’ political reporter Kasie Hunt retweeted this, which she later deleted after who knows how many people saw it:

If this had been a ridiculous statement from, say, Nancy Pelosi instead of Sarah Palin, Hunt might have actually gone all “real reporter” and verified the source before passing it along to her followers. Hunt later deleted it without acknowledging it was fake.

@redsteeze Hey @kasie this tweet you RTd comes from a Palin satire acct and clearly says so in the bio. Ya might wanna check.
